Daniel Radcliffe is, as it is said, a precious cinnamon roll. The Jewish actor has done everything, from Harry Potter, to Harry Potter for seven additional movies, to a flatulent semi-sentient corpse in Swiss Army Man. And now, in a bit of a turn, he stars in Imperium, a film about an FBI agent, Nate Foster who goes undercover to infiltrate a white supremacist group, uncovering a terrorist plot.

Is it unsettling watching Radcliffe march with a shaved head? Sure, but his motives never seem called into question; Foster spends most of the trailer repulsed by the very people he’s supposed to befriend, and terrified of exposure.

You can watch the trailer below. It’s actually rather intense, with a lot of suspense crammed into two minutes. The film premieres in limited release, as well as on demand, August 19th.

“What the fuck is going to happen in Israel?” Berg asks, before going off on an impassioned, if scattered, tangent. “Its the most serious issue facing our planet right now,” he says, “Moreso than the movie Battleship.”

Inquiring whether the 25-year-old reporter served in the army (he didn’t), Berg asks if he was a draft dodger.

“You gotta join the army motherfucker,” he says, before saying the interviewer’s last name doesn’t sound Jewish (we learn that both of their fathers are Jewish).

We couldn’t tell you when Battleship is coming out (is it out already?), but we sure like seeing an American movie director go nuts about Israel.
